After having some recreational drugs in the past, we started talking about all the money we spend for it. About 200$ a month equal = 2400$ a year
so 2 400$ x 1 000 000 = 2 400 000 000 = 2.4 billion dollar a year tax evasion
the drug traffickers does not pay taxes much
Also in Europe criminal drug related business is estimated about 60 billion
Is it a conservative number?
I do not know
How much money is spent on war drugs? 30 billion a year
So most of the money is paid by the tax payers who does not use them.
They could be used for health, science, schools, infrastructure, and other complicated
My friend Paris [not the model] show me this graph

and was telling me that using drugs is no where close to killing people as other more simple things we have around like smoking or driving a car. So he asked why is it so difficult to enjoy something natural [almost] almost anywhere when governments all over the world are trying to cut down use of this.
I suggested that maybe is just a way for politician to create a state of fear among citizens using police, technology, and so creating jobs that they can control
He told me he does not understand very well, why they do not the same with smoking or cars to try to make it difficult to drive or smoke, using alternatives transportation or putting to jail the smokers
I say that this way is too complicated and the purpose is not to solve problems, but to create more problems so people are more confused and can not make choices
Tonite anyway we ll go out and enjoy some recreational and maybe Bloomberg is coming with us with his 2 SUVs
